Hi Markus,

thanks for your contribution. Connecting to Sphinx RT index via federatedx
sounds like a great idea.

I reviewed attached patch and from what I can see, relevant difference
between dialects is as following:

1. Connection to RT index doesn't require database name and you made it
   optional in parse_url(). That's acceptable with sphinxql scheme, but
   with mysql scheme it's a bit ambiguous. What do you think if we keep
   database name mandatory and document that connection string to RT index
   should look like 
   sphinxql://root@localhost:9306//rt
   or
   sphinxql://root@localhost:9306/dummy/rt

2. delete_row(): looks nice, but could be greatly simplified because sphinxql
   accepts only record identifier in WHERE clause.

3. delete_all_rows(): FWICS there is "TRUNCATE RTINDEX" statement in sphinx. 
   Why can't we use it? Even better patch sphinx to make RTINDEX word optional?

4. table_metadata(): I believe it should be easy and natural to patch sphinx to
   support SHOW TABLE STATUS. What do you think?

5. query(): Same here, sphinxql shouldn't add implicit limit.

6. test_connection(): What's the problem with test query?

Did I miss anything else?

Thanks,
Sergey

Now its possible to update Sphinx RT indexes directly from MariaDB. To create a connection to the RT index in the Sphinx default RT-index:
